Among-us

Among-us is a convivial and intuitive textile installation that continues Patricia Urquiola’s ongoing research into the evolving possibilities of textiles, exploring their hybrid potentials across various scales—from product design to one/off pieces, from natural and traditional yarns to recycled new ones (as wool or Econyl), from new watercolor printing technologies for fabrics to hanging tapestries for interiors. The title, among-us, refers to the concept of being together and reflects the intent of the installation to celebrate hybrid new relations. The installation creates a playful landscape populated by hybrid creatures of fantasy, blending a sense of curiosity with the studio’s vision of a dystopic present where new technologies invade craftsmanship, reversing those relations into our life.
